fairy toadstools in the green garden

Thank you all so much for such encouraging comments, and for the
3000+ faves.

Each Autumn I get two visits from these fungi in my garden. They seem
to be part of circles with a radius of nearly 1 metre - hence the
"fairy ring". They last a couple of days, then
disintegrate, and presumably this is just long enough to set and
distribute spores. I understand the whole circle is part of a single
organism.www.forteantimes.com/articles/141_faeryrings.shtml

---------------------------------------------------------Winge about Interestingness/Explore, and the arbitrary treatment of
photos on Flickr.

For two years this was officially my most Interesting photo. Then,
suddenly, it disappeared from my Most Interesting 200 photos list
altogether. And it was kicked down from No.1 in the most interesting
lists for a number of tags, to 500+ (if I could find it at all.). I suppose I am grateful that it got all that exposure from two years
as a most interesting photo. But I am also concerned that Flickr has
that much control over the exposure that someone gets. I'm a very
amateur photographer, but it could dramatically effect a
professional.

I have been doing low level photography for a number of years now see my site sets Harcourt arboretum & youlbury fungus. its good to get down at there level even if you get funny looks from people passing by
